Athlophoros acts on the blood, muscles

The Tlchborne Curse.

IL seems that In the time Of Henry
III. Sir Roger Tichborne married
an heiress named Mabel de Lymer-
stone. She proved TO be a Lady Boun-
tiful, always soliciting her knight TO
give To the poor. These cntreaties he
constantly refused until, when she be-
came bedridden, he tauntingly offered
her for the poor rs much ground as
she could crawl around. She actually
succeeded i'm covering fifteen acres
hence the name of the field.
Before Lady Mabel died she desired
that the rental of these fifteen acres be
given annually TO the poor every Lady
Day, March 25. in the shape of small
loaves. She said:
IF any Tichborne deprives the poor
OF this duae the family shall be pun
ished by the fulfilment of my curse.
May the house then fall, the name
change and misfortune come. The
fultilment shall be foreshadowed by q
generation of seven sons and then one
Of seven daughters.
Toward the end of the last century
the baronet of that day was petitioned
by the neighboring gentry to stop the
dole as a bad precedent. He COM
piled.
In 1902 this same baronet, the faith
err OF seven sons, pulled down the
mansion, which he said was incon-
venient and decayed. The tower was
SO solid that gunpowder had TO be
used 10 make it fall. He was sue
ceeded by a son who had seven daugh-
tiers. The title next successfully passed
10 his two brothers. The last OF these
father of the drowned Sir Roger and
Sir Alfred, sire Of the present baronet
did change the family name by max
ing IL the double one OF Doughty-Tich-
borne, for which the royal license was
obtained.
Then came the misfortunes- the
mysterious death of Sir Roger. the al
most ruinous lawsuit. the birth OF the
present baronet after his fathers death

mother, Lady Tiehborne. STOPPING to

Says the New York Commercial Al

there can be no doubt that the actual

omit the negative prefix when speak
ing OF their shops declare that il was

The Crow IL Black.

The Indians of the extreme north
west have some very remarkable Leg
ends about the creation. in which the
crow takes the leading part, bringing
order out of chaos. Perhaps the most
curious was that which accounted for
the raven coat Of the crow. One
night, while making tour through
his dominions, he stopped ut the house
of the Can-Nook, a chief. and begged
for lodging and drink Of water. Can
Nook offered him bed. but on ac-
count Of scarcity of water refused
to give him anything 10 drink. When
all the rest were asleep the crow rot
up To hunt for the water butt. but was
heard by Can-Nook's wife. who arous-
eel her husband He, thinking the
crow was about TO escape, piled logs
Of gum wood upon the fire. The crow
made desperate efforts TO ily through
the hole in the roof where the smoke
escaped, but the Can-NoOk caused tho
smoke to be- denser and denser. and
when the crow finally rcgainch the
outer air IL had black plumage. IL
was previously white. - american

There has been considerable drunk
enness in Jackson during the last few
days, but the officers have promptly
attended to the cases. This squirt of
drunkenness should act as caution
to the Temperance people, and warn
them that there must be no relaxation
Of their efforts. If the good work is
permitted to drag, the drift in the
wrong direction soon begins, and there
are few citizens perhaps who would
be willing to see the town take
single step toward the condition of
things existing here few days ago.
Keep up the work Down with the
doggeries," should be the motto of all.
